In 1931 Mr. Oscar Deutsch 'own- ed 14 cinemas in the Midlands To-day he and his partners, Mr. F. Stanley Rates and Mr. George W. Elcock, control 53 new houses, mostly in the south, with an ag gregate seating capacity of 76,000. They have 385 more in construction and plan to put up another 40.

Mr. Elcock said that from prac- tical experience he has found that new houses create, an additional picture-going public without en- |croaching upon the attendance at]

established cinemas.

As an instance he quoted the case of Canterbury. The popuis- tion is 25,000: Prior to the eres- tion of two new Odeon cinemas, there were already three owned by others in existence, whose Iverage takings amounted to £275 per| week.. After the two Oden theatres opened their takings averaged about £1,000 gross per week be- tween them. The three older houses are still receiving £275.

FATHER OF ENGLISH STAGE

Where in Westminster Abbey is late did he see the men and horses track the grave of Thomas Betterton, greatest of English actors?

That is the question which strange to relate, was puzzling the authorities recently.

As Betterton was born in 1635 there is a strong desire to honour 24th June his tercentenary on August 24th July his birthday, and so that flowers may be laid on or near the spot where he was buried in 1710, di- gent search is being made among the abbey records.
